Up to around 10 years ago I thought like you Kevin.

 

Recently the scales have fallen from my eyes, and for many others both here and in the US.

I'm presuming this, and you being ex military may know better. If the US (Trump) was about to launch attacks on Iran surely the question of collateral damage would have been asked much sooner than 10 minutes before the planes were ready to depart?, frankly I don't believe it, I think, and again this is only presumption, his advisers told him where he was going wrong, and he's got the potential to be a very dangerous man.

Why so eager to be subjugated?

 

Just saying ‘oh sure they can be naughty, but have you seen the alternative?’ Isn’t much of an argument.

I'd choose the US hegemony over China's any day of the week, as much of a shower of hoors that they can be.

Not in hindsight, with any reasonable foresight US foreign policy has been counter productive.

Has always been so in my lifetime,  I became disillusioned when I was 17 in Finthen USAA Germany and since then realised the problem stemmed from way before then, probably  when they first latched on to the Balfour declaration.

Firstly, assuming there MUST be a hegemony, why? 

Apart from eating dogs, which is a bit of a deal breaker for me, look at the Chinese in Africa, build a few roads, schools etc. then steal all the raw materials, at least they do it politely, don’t threatened to flatten the place, then do it.

I’m not for a second suggesting it’s an ideal situation Mick, and neither am I blind to the flaws. 

 

There’s no eagerness on my part for subjugation but there’s even less for the sort of chaos which is inevitable in the void which invariably ensues.
